The variation of refractive index, n, with wavelength for fused silica is given by where

Chapter 19, Problem 19-27

(choose chapter or problem)

The variation of refractive index, n, with wavelength for fused silica is given by where is expressed in m. (a) Make a graph of n versus with points at the following wavelengths: 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 m. (b) The ability of a prism to spread apart (disperse) neighboring wavelengths increases as the slope dn/d increases. Is the dispersion of fused silica greater for blue light or red light?
